Chamidu, the Roar of the Storm, is a Vudran goddess sworn to defend wild beasts, nature, and the all-healing tree Kalpavendi.

Appearance

She is sometimes depicted as a six-armed humanoid woman with four faces, one looking in each cardinal direction and each representing aspects of her existence, who rides a tiger with human hands for paws.

Chamidu's faces represent healing, behind a smiling, caring face; nature, adorned in a floral wreath; storms, darkened by a desire to destroy the world's fiends; and nightmares, bearing a dream-haunting scowl. She sometimes wields numerous weapons simultaneously, namely her favored spears but also bows, hatchets, maces, shields, staves, or whips as desired or needed.

Church

Kalpavendi

Chamidu is charged with the defense of Kalpavendi, a legendary tree believed to be capable of healing any being—even deities—of any malady.

Worshipers and followers

Chamidu's followers are hospitable and offer sanctuary, healing, and necessary supplies to anyone in need. They also battle against individuals, causes, or forces that threaten natural habitats or anyone under their care.

Temples and shrines

Her temples also store food for animals and care for injured wild creatures, whether tame or feral, and either return them to their owners, help guide their release into the wild, or make the temple their new home. Chamidu's temples also take in abandoned or orphaned children, where clergy and creatures alike care for them.
